Yes, that was my question. Can a resistor measure good "out of circuit" but break down under load (fail) "in circuit"?

I had forgotten about that. Must remove them to test. Another scenero is the two resistors on the zenith projo's that causes loss of OSD, video and convergence. They cannot be checked reliably in circuit either. But I don't think this was his question. I "believe" the question was "can a resistor read correctly(on an ohm meter) out of circuit, and still break down under voltage". To which I think the answer is still yes. I know caps do it all the time. But it's not the same thing. Sometimes replacement is the only way to know for sure. --- tony saracco <tcselectronics@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I have seen it happen, just look at the zenith > 120K resistors on the crt > boards. > > Tony Saracco > TCS ELECTRONICS > Elgin , IL 60120 > 847-695-1928 > tcselectronics@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Kevin" <kevintv@xxxxxxx> > To: "TECH-ASSIST" <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 3:24 PM > Subject: [TechAssist] A resistor question. > > > > Can a resistor measure the right value out of > circuit, but fail under > > voltage load in circuit?
